Chapter 185: Committing Suicide Out of Fear of Punishment
"My lord, they are coming."
The official straightened his black hat and said, "If they want to come, they can come. I never stopped them."
"Sir, that is the prince of Marquis Xiaoyao. We will be dead if they come!" The chief clerk did not want to die yet. He had been with Xu Zheng for more than ten years, doing all kinds of bad things and enjoying glory. There was still a long way to go, and he had never thought of interrupting.
Xu Zheng glanced at him with a cold look on his face, "Get out if you don't want to die!"
The chief clerk's eyes lit up, "Sir, are you serious?"
"nature."
After getting the consent, the chief clerk quickly picked up his bag and ran away. The reason he waited until Xu Zheng said something before running away was because he was afraid that he would give him away.
"Who is so blind?"
Unfortunately, as soon as the chief clerk arrived at the door, he bumped into the teeth in Qin Feng's hand.
"You!" The chief clerk scrambled back, staring at his feet. "Why did you get here so quickly?"
"If you don't come soon and you all run away, who are we going to find?" Qin Feng stopped rubbing his hurt shoulder and straightened his body. "I think it's just in time!"
Qin Feng refused An Feng An Liu's help, grabbed a person with one hand, and dragged him in front of Xu Zheng.
"You are quite patient." Qin Xiangnuan saw that Xu Zheng was not in a hurry and was still flipping through the papers in his hands.
"You're just a woman, what do you know?" Xu Zheng raised his eyelids and his gaze returned to the paper.
Jiang Lin frowned and stood in front of Qin Xiangnuan. "Do you know what's waiting for you?"
"Prince Jiang, are you planning to let me go?" Xu Zheng raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Lin.
"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Qin Feng slapped Xu Zheng's desk.
"It seems that he is ready to accept all judgments." Anliu frowned, not understanding why the person in front of him was like that.
Since that was the case, Jiang Lin didn't waste any more words. They were not just dealing with the three people in front of them, but everyone in the town should be brought to justice.
Therefore, Jiang Lin had them taken to the prison and guarded. Tomorrow he would let the people of the town see them clearly at the city gate.
The gas masks they prepared were ultimately not used, and they stayed in Xu Zheng's official residence that night.
"I thought his house would be very grand." Qin Feng looked at the study room that was empty except for books. He took a piece of paper written by Xu Zheng and sneered, "He actually wrote 'Good is rewarded with good, evil is punished with evil'."
"He seems to have his own reasons." An Feng's eyes flashed, "It's a pity that he deserves to die."
Jiang Lin found the original roster and discovered a secret compartment underneath it. It contained another, more detailed roster, which included not only each person's name, age, and place of origin, but also their life story.
Qin Xiangnuan walked behind him, saw the content above, glanced at Jiang Lin's expression, and placed her hand on his clenched fist. "It's late at night, and everything will be over tomorrow."
"Yes, the things here will end, but I don't know how many other places in the world are still experiencing cases of cannibalism and murder for money," Jiang Lin said.
"Why does this sound so familiar?" Qin Feng frowned.
This was exactly what Qin Feng was confused about before he came, but Jiang Lin was not confused, he was just grieving for those people.
Qin Xiangnuan held his hand tightly, hoping to give him a little strength.
The warmth on the back of his hand continued to come, and Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan looked at each other, "Don't worry, I will deal with them one by one, so that the world will no longer be so miserable."
"I trust you."
Qin Xiangnuan chose to believe that Jiang Lin was a good person a long time ago. She believed that Jiang Lin had the ability and should have a broader world to do what he should do, and she was willing to support him when necessary.
They thought that things here would end easily, but they never expected to find out the next day that Xu Zheng had committed suicide.
"He swallowed poison, but it was too late when he found out." Qin Xiangnuan announced his death.
"He died too easily. It was really a bargain for him." If Qin Feng had not chosen to be a human being, he would have beaten and kicked the dead man.
Xu Zheng chose to end his life, but the chief clerk and the hired helper did not have the courage. The three of them were locked up in a cell. At this time, the two of them huddled in the corner, staying away from Xu Zheng and not even looking at him.
Everyone sneered at their behavior.
Xu Zheng was not worthy of being buried, and no one collected his body. Jiang Lin had it thrown into the wilderness. The chief clerk trembled in fear, and the hired helper couldn't believe it, accusing them of being inhumane.
No one wanted to listen to them, so after dawn, they were hung at the city gate, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"How, how could this happen?"
"Retribution, retribution is coming, no one can stop it, haha, hahaha."
The people have also gone crazy. When nothing happens, they can comfort themselves and enjoy the money earned through illegal means, but once the truth is exposed, everything they have becomes a demon in their eyes, and they can take away their most precious things at any time.
"Get them out! They want to kill us and leave us without food and money!"
Of course, there were also some stubborn people who took things and threw them onto the city wall desperately, but it was all in vain. The things only rose a few meters before falling down and hitting others.
In short, there was chaos under the city gate. Jiang Lin and his men were short of manpower. Even if he sent a message to the nearby towns overnight asking them to send people, they were still not able to defeat even one-tenth of the people.
"Guard the city gate and don't let anyone out." Jiang Lin ordered.
"yes."
When the secret guards arrived at the city gate, people were constantly rushing in and they could hear shouting from the other side of the gate.
"Get out, and you'll survive."
"Come on, charge!"
If this goes on, the city gate will be broken sooner or later. Qin Xiangnuan took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and threw a smoke bomb down.
The noisy sound stopped in an instant, and Jiang Lin watched Qin Xiangnuan take out the loudspeaker that had been prepared long ago from somewhere.
"Listen up, no one is causing any more trouble, or I'll throw a fireball next."
Whether they were stunned by the noise or frightened by the thought of losing their lives, the people's loud shouting stopped, and only whispered conversations remained.
"We are aware of what you have done. We have no intention of taking your lives, but no one can escape the consequences." Qin Xiangnuan's powerful voice left the people at the city gate at a loss.
Qin Xiangnuan couldn't see their expressions, but she knew that many of them must be extremely regretful, but no one had the right to forgive their behavior on behalf of those who were humiliated.
A single smoke bomb couldn't scare anyone, and those who heard the name would inevitably panic. Qin Xiangnuan then threw a bomb upwards into the air to scare everyone.
"Li Dashu, robbed 100 taels of silver and killed one person. Li Muyan, robbed 1,000 taels of silver and killed three people. Li..."
This is another list found in Xu Zheng's study. All the names are of people currently living in the city, and their crimes are clearly recorded.
